Can You Stamp on Glass?

Have you ever tried to stamp and emboss on glass? See the magic!

with Fairy Stamper

The answer is, yes you can! I was excited when I saw this technique and knew I had to give it a try. Stamping and embossing on glass! I love the result. This beautifully framed piece was created as a part of the Fairy Stampers Video Design Team.

Materials:

  • Condo Dwellers FHS-060
  • Fantasy Flowers FHS-032
  • Works Board
  • VersaMark stamp pad
  • frame with glass
  • embossing powder
  • heat gun
  • decorative paper

After stamping and applying the embossing powder, you’ll want to clean off any excess powder and move to a heat-safe surface. Then the fun part, watch the embossing powder transform under the heat.

Clean off both sides of the glass with water and then frame the glass to finish the piece. I can’t wait to try this again and color the image, similar to stained glass!

Making a Beary Cute Card

Working with products from the Maker’s Movement made this card so bear cute!

with Maker’s Movement

Planning, coloring, and die-cutting this card was so peacefully enjoyable. I knew the moment I saw the bear stamp he was going to be a polar bear. My daughter loves polar bears. What excites me about the card is that I used the leftover cut-out leaves from a past project as the stencil to create the background! What a great way to extend the use of the die and the card stock. I keep all my left-over parts just in case for moments like this.

Materials:

  • card stock – white and patterned
  • the Works Board
  • Let’s Get Cozy Die (leaves)
  • Woodland Friends – die and stamp sets
  • Distress Oxide
  • blending brush
  • Mini Maker
  • tape runner
  • Stazon black ink pad
  • Intense black ink pad
  • washi tape
  • Derwent Inktense pencils

Because I video the process, I didn’t get a chance to stop and photograph the ink blending with the DIY stencil on the front of the card. But you can see it all happen in the video tutorial below.

Isn’t that bear just so cute? After stamping and coloring, I taped the die in place then sent it all through the Mini Maker to cut. The only thing left to do is stamp the sentiment and put the card together.

Pumpkin Mandala Card

Follow along and make this pumpkin mandala for fall, Halloween, or Thanksgiving. It is so versatile it works for card making or home decor. #sponsored #cutcardstock

with printable and free SVG

Today I am using an SVG file to create a Pumpkin Mandala Card. This design works well for Halloween, Fall, or Thanksgiving. I’ve used the mandala for a card but you could make it larger for a beautiful decor piece. Or just framing the card would be nice too.

Orange, brown, and gold card stocks are being featured this month on CutCardStock. I am using Cosmic Orange and Stardream Metallic Card Stock in Bronze. I really like the iridescent quality of the Stardream card stocks.

I cut the CutCardStock on a Cricut Maker. The Cosmic Orange was cut at 100# and the Metallic Bronze was cut twice at 100#. While the mat is still in the Maker, just hit the go button again.

Rose Lined Card

Make a rose lined card with CutCardStock and a free SVG file. #affiliate #sponsored @CutCardStock

with CutCardStock

As a part of the CutCardStock design team, I created an SVG file to create a rose-lined card. What a great file to be used for a greeting note, a sympathy note, or a wedding. In other words, it is so versatile in its use. You can choose to use an insert paper for additional color as I have with the red, or just leave the card as is. It is simple to make because your personal cutting machine does the work for you. All you need to do is possibly weed out a few pieces and fold.

White and Ivory card stocks are being featured this month on CutCardStock. I am using Classic Linen Card Stock in Solar White. You can change the card’s look by changing the color of the card stock or adding an insert liner.

Cricut Maker

On a Cricut Maker, set the file to cut at 100# cardstock and then cut the file twice. Without removing the mat after the first cut, just push the go button again.

remove from the mat

As mentioned above there are only a few materials needed to create this project. Use a personal cutting machine that works with an SVG file. The card is designed as A2 size. If your mat has lost a bit of adhesion, I recommend using washi tape on all four sides of the card stock to hold it in place.

I chose to cut a liner piece out of construction paper a bit smaller than the card. I used the Best Glue Ever in all four corners to attach it to the front inside panel of the card. Just fold along the scoreline and you are done.

A close-up of the finished card with the liner inserted is shown above. You can see the details and delicate thin lines that are cut with this design.

Making a Fall Blessings Card

Make a fall greeting card with products from the Makers Movement.

with the Makers Movement

The Makers Movement sent me a recently released die set and card stock pack. The fall colors of the card stock were perfect for making a card. The leaves cut out in two different tones of green were placed in a circle to make a wreath. I really enjoy the fall colors in the card stock pack.

Materials:

  • card stock – white and patterned
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Rinea foiled paper
  • Let’s Get Cozy Die
  • CrossOver II
  • Mini Maker
  • washi tape punch
  • tape runner
  • adhesive
  • pencil
  • sentiment die

I chose to work with coordinating paper that included two shades of green to make the wreath. The curved leaf die was perfect for the circular shape of the wreath.

I began getting the parts needed together. Cutting the leaf shape on the CrossOver II. My favorite thing about the CrossOver II is the adjustable steel roller bar, which allows various thicknesses to cut easily. The sentiment was an afterthought so I cut it on the Mini Maker. Both machines are made by the Makers Movement.

To see the card being put together, watch the video tutorial below.

Lace Card SVG

with CutCardStock

I have a Lace Edged Card to share with you as a part of the CutCardStock design team. What a great file to be used for a greeting note, a sympathy note, or a wedding. In other words, it is so versatile in its use. It is simple to make because your personal cutting machine does the work for you. All you need to do is possibly weed out a few pieces and fold.

White and Ivory card stocks are being featured this month on CutCardStock. I am using Royal Sundance Brilliant White. You can change the look of the card by changing the color of the card stock. Another option would be to include a liner to show through the lace cutouts. This would be a great addition if you work with a dark color.

As mentioned above there are only a few materials needed to create this project. Use a personal cutting machine that works with an SVG file. The card is designed as A2 size. I cut mine on a Cricut Maker at 100# card stock and I’d recommend adding additional pressure so the need for weeding would be less. If your mat has lost a bit of adhesion, I recommend using washi tape on all four sides of the card stock to hold it in place. I typically add the washi tape because I don’t want the card stock to move and then ruin the cut. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Follow along with the Video Tutorial below for instructions and tips.

Seeing the SVG file in a pastel color makes me want to cut a few in different colors. What color would you cut it out from?

Hints of Gold Card

I am a new member of the Fairy Stamper video design team. I will be posting tutorial videos twice a month on the Fairy Stamper YouTube Channel. This is my first card design using Fairy Stamps.

I wanted to create a misty look to the card. As if she were walking through a garden early morning and the mist was making everything appear gray and distant except for the glow and transparency of her wings. To accomplish this look, I layered images and used gray and green ink pads.

In the video below, you will find a unique stencil technique I used that creates a misty look. It can also mimic a tie-dye appearance. It is really easy to create and I love the results.

Video Tutorial:

The image above is showing a close-up of the hints of gold in the image. You can really see the Gold Shimmer Spray. I made my own shimmer spray with products from Dollar Tree. You can learn how to make your own cost-effective spray at the following link. [DIY Shimmer Spray]

If you are interested in the Word Art printable file I used, it is available in the store [Word Art page] It is a really handy crafting material to have on hand. I printed one version out on card stock and another on sticker paper.

Making a Butterfly Mobile

Make a Butterfly Mobile with card stock and a free SVG. @cutcardstock #affiliate #sponsored @OfficialCricut

With CutCardStock’s Design Team

Today I am posting a tutorial on the CutCardStock blog for this Butterfly Mobile I made using three different colors of green card stock.

I cut all the butterflies and vellum centers on a Cricut Maker. Many companies I work with provide materials for me to use in tutorials.

Materials:

  • Embroidery hoop – center loop
  • fishing line
  • Cricut
  • Cardstock
  • Vellum
  • Tacky Glue
  • scissors
  • binder clips
  • pencil
  • craft wire – gold
  • super glue

I used three different greens for the butterflies from CutCardStock (affiliate links). Pop-Tone Card Stock in Spearmint, Green Curry, and Dark Teal. And the insides are Cover Weight Vellum.

The image above shows how the binder clips were used to hold the fishing line in place before being stuck in place with super glue. You can also see how I wound and looped the craft wire at the top for hanging.
